Workplace, supply shortages hit 27J BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
27J Schools in Brighton aren’t exempt from the recent nationwide supply and worker shortage issues. “Over the last couple of months, we have had challenges with food service supplies and staffing,” said district spokeswoman Janelle Asmus. “We’ve been very short-staffed
with unfilled positions, such as kitchen managers, assistant kitchen managers and nutrition services workers.” There have been supply chain delays and breakdowns, too, Asmus said. “This has resulted in food shipments not meeting our needs as planned in order to feed our students who rely on school breakfast

and lunch for daily meals,” she said. “To cope, we have had office staff fill in at various schools. We’ve shifted existing staff to meet the most urgent needs, and we’re doing our best to attract new workers and hire qualified people to join the team.” The district’s answer to supply chain problems is research in an effort to find sources other than traditional suppliers.

Carole Delight (Slusher) Rupp December 9, 1945 ~ October 23, 2021
Carole Delight Rupp was born in Kansas City, Missouri to Charles and Elizabeth Slusher on December 9, 1945 and was the oldest of three children. Carole was married to Edwin Rupp on December 29, 1979 in Arvada, CO where they resided until March 1997 before they moved to Fort Lupton, CO. Carole spent the majority of her life raising, riding and showing Appaloosa horses and in her early years competed in high school rodeo barrel racing. There was no question that Carole’s biggest passion in life was her horses. She shared that passion with her daughters and most recently with her granddaughters who now also ride and compete. Carole ran her own hay business for many years buying and selling hay; anyone who was around back then probably hauled hay a time or two with her. Later in life, Carole obtained her Class A CDL and went to work driving a truck. Carole retired from Martin Marietta in 2019 and was most proud of the work she did there.
CAMPBELL
Carole had an insatiable love for the mountains. She enjoyed trail riding, an occasional trip to the casinos and most recently she enjoyed watching westerns and crocheting - the afghans she made were beautiful.

Carole is survived by her daughters, Sandra Brogdon of Thornton and Natasha “Nikki” (Justin) Blair of Fort Lupton; brother, Robert (Susie) Slusher of Westminster; grandson, Matthew (Leah) Brogdon of Thornton; granddaughters, Emily and Rylee Blair of Fort Lupton; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Brighton temp becomes permanent City Manager City Council taps Martinez to fill top spot STAFF REPORT
Brighton’s new city manager was the acting city manager for one week. City council made the promotion official during an Oct. 26 special meeting. He succeeds Jane Bais DiSessa, who resigned Oct. 11. “We are thrilled to have Michael Martinez as our new city manager,” said Mayor Gregory Mills in a press
statement. “City council and I have had the pleasure of working with Michael in his previous roles at the city and are confident that his years of experience and commitment to Brighton will help propel the city in the years to come.” The press statement said Martinez will be responsible for daily city operations, preparing recommendations for council consideration and implementing policy direction approved by city council. “I’m honored to have this opportunity to serve the community as Brighton’s new city manager,” said Martinez in the statement. “Having
worked for the city for a while now, I’ve seen first-hand the strengths and potential of this growing city. It’s a true honor to take on this new role and help lead Brighton in the years to come.” Martinez was assistant city manager of economic development and communications and Engagement. Additionally, Martinez oversaw the Brighton Urban Renewal Authority on behalf of the city and served as its executive director. He joined city staff in March 2015 as economic development specialist for the Brighton Economic Development Corp. and was promoted to assistant
economic development director in September 2015. Six months later, he was the economic development director. The statement said Martinez has more than 15 years of local government experience, working in a variety of roles with the city of Brighton and the City and County of Denver. Martinez earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Colorado-Denver and a master’s degree in political science from the University of Colorado at Denver’s Center for New Directions in Politics and Public Policy.

originally planned on the menu.” The disruption does not mean students are without food. Asmus said students may wind up with pizza instead of lasagna in case of a substitution. Asmus said the delays in delivery of instructional materials amounted to “a couple of minor inconveniences” with late-arriving workbooks. “We had to order more if we had significant enrollment increases,” she said. “But it hasn’t slowed down our instructional schedule, nor has it hampered any child having the materials they need. We’re just making paper copies when needed.” Asmus said the challenges are more along the lines of maintaining up-to-date instruction equipment and materials. Her example was in the STEM Career and Technical Education program. “Our materials are more indus-
his new position. He is scheduled to remain with Adams County through November and will start his new position Dec. 1. Gonzales has been with Adams County for nearly nine years and has served as county manager since April 2017. “It has been an honor to serve the residents of Adams County over the last nine years,” Gonzales said in a written statement. “I’m an Adams County native, and my heart will always remain with Adams County. But it is time for me to move on and expand my horizons. I’m looking forward to returning to the ecotrial in nature as opposed to paper or manipulatives,” she said. “Our equipment is in real need of being updated. Technology is such a significant driver of change in the workplace. It means we have to constantly update equipment so our students are learning on equipment just like they’d be expected to use on a job site.” Asmus said the rewards of keeping up with change “have been tremendous.” “Our students have been able to take and pass intense industry tests to earn certification in today’s most in-demand jobs and with advanced skills,” Asmus said. “That allows them to walk into a good-paying job straight out of high school. Today, those kinds of courses are even more popular with students and parents because of the return on investment for the student.” Asmus said the community values that type of work because students are picking up skills to use in the local workforce “and our students become contributing citizens in our own communities.”

Adams County will conduct a formal search for the next county manager. During this search, Alisha Reis will serve as interim county manager beginning Dec. 1. “While we are sad to see Ray leave Adams County, we certainly understand why Metro Denver EDC would be interested in having him lead their organization,” county commission board Chairwoman Eva Henry said in the press release. “Ray is a dynamic leader who has accelerated the level of professionalism in every department of the county. We wish him continued success on his professional journey.”

United Power’s touts technology to keep the power on Microgrid scheme would add stability to rural power supply BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
United Power is looking for a more stable energy grid in case of a power outage, so its asking companies that are interested in investing or are experts in the microgrid, according to a press release. “United Power has a long record of investing in a variety of innovative technologies to learn more about how these systems work and how they can help us serve our members more reliability or reduce costs,” said Dean Hubbuck, chief
energy resource officer, in the statement. “We have been discussing the viability of a microgrid project for some time now and want to find a partner willing to invest both money and expertise into this pilot venture.” The microgrid technology is a self-contained power system utilizing battery and solar or other energy resources in a service area, the statement said. Most communities are served by one single transmission line -- the main grid. The microgrid is detached from the main electric grid during an outage. It is used as backup energy using local resources, for instance battery storage, small generators and renewables such as solar and wind farms. It keeps the power flowing in communities when extreme weather causes the main grid
to go down. The microgrid is supported by its own local production source and also sends excess power back to the main grid, according to officials. “Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association recently put up a microgrid in the Red Feather Lakes area to provide some redundancy for those members,” said Heidi Storz, United Power marketing and communications manager. United Power is Colorado’s second-largest cooperative in the northern Front Range, serving more than 100,000 meters. In 2009, the cooperative was the inventor of renewable energy, energizing the state of Colorado with the first community solar field- Sol Partners, according to officials. Since 2009, United Power added 84 megawatts of renewable genera-
tion to its system which includes a landfill methane project, and numerous utility-scale solar fields, including a 4.5 Tesla battery storage system. “This project is the natural evolution of our interest and investment into alternative energy solutions,” stated Hubbuck in the statement. “United Power continues to investigate several different concepts with r the end goal of providing unique solutions for our growing member- t t ship.” t United Power will be soliciting companies’ RFIs for the microgrid w projects through the end of the year, with plans to begin the projecta in 2022.

Two dead, two hurt after chase, police say STAFF REPORT
Two people died after a short police chase in Brighton Oct. 26. No names have been released. The incident began shortly before 11:30 a.m. near Gaviota and Goldfinch streets. Police went there on a report of a suspicious vehicle. According to a statement, the first of two officers on the call arrived and learned the vehicle had been stolen. When the second officer arrived, the suspect rammed the officer’s vehicle. The other officer tried to do a traffic stop, but the car sped away from the scene. At Bridge and Mount Bierstadt streets, the stolen car ran a stop sign and struck another car. A female passenger in the victim’s car was thrown clear, according to the statement. The female was transported to the hospital with critical injuries. The stolen car continued on Mount Bierstadt Street, lost control of the car and struck a male pedestrian. This male was also transported to the hospital in critical condition. Both victims died at an area hos-
pital. The Adams County Coroner’s Office will identify the victims. The press statement said the chase lasted two minutes. Police arrested 25-year-old Nicholas Vilarina. He remained at an area hospital for treatment of his injuries. Police said a second passenger, a woman, was also getting treatment for her injuries at a hospital. “Today has been a very difficult day for our community. Loss of life is never easy, in this case, the loss of people who were going about their everyday lives,” said Brighton Police Chief Paul Southard in the statement. “Our hearts are heavy for the families and friends of both individuals whose lives were tragically cut short, as well as the other victims of the crash.” The 17th Judicial District Critical Incident Investigation Team and the North Metro Accident Investigation Team will be investigating the circumstances surrounding the pursuit and subsequent crash. As per standard protocol, the officer(s) who were involved in today’s incident will be on paid administrative leave.

DIA chief: ‘Holiday season will be tough’ Security lines long amid passenger surge, labor shortage BY MATT BLOOM DENVERITE
Lizzie Johnson describes her most recent trip through Denver International Airport as “stressful, to say the least.” She’s flown in and out of the airport for decades, but this time was different. When the Denver resident arrived at DIA on Oct. 15 with her husband and two kids, the Transportation Security Administration security line wrapped all the way through the baggage claim area and beyond, she said. At one point, she and her husband got separated in the crowd and had to call each other to link back up. “There were lines and confused people everywhere,” Johnson said. “I’ve never seen it that packed.” Passenger traffic has bounced back sharply at DIA since the pandemic began, leading to record long security wait times and parking bottlenecks at the airport. The airport is currently seeing the fastest recovery of any U.S. hub, according to DIA leadership. Flight records show more than 24 million passengers passed through the airport between January and June. The numbers remain high and are projected to surpass pre-pandemic levels by early next year. In a wide-ranging press conference Oct. 22, airport CEO Phil Washington asked for patience during the
t

surge, saying DIA was struggling to meet demand due to capacity limits and labor shortages in almost every department. “We intend to make things better,” Washington said. “But we have a lot of work to do.” Washington, who took the CEO job three months ago, outlined several immediate changes to help meet projected demand during the upcoming holiday season. They include the reopening of shuttle parking lots, construction of four new TSA security lines and the addition of more information kiosks, with workers known as “purple shirts,” to help passengers navigate the terminal. Airport staff will shoehorn the new TSA lines into the existing security infrastructure as soon as possible, Washington said. He did not offer a clear timeline for the
project. Starting this weekend, the Pikes Peak shuttle lot will open on a temporary basis. The space has been closed for months due to ongoing bus driver shortages. To help with recruiting, Washington said he is looking at waiving commercial driver’s license requirements as a hiring condition. The solution would require drivers to use smaller vans to ferry passengers from the lots to the airport. “I think it should be permanent,” he said. “Because this is going to be an ongoing issue as passenger volumes increase.” Since opening in 1995, DIA has seen visitation skyrocket to roughly 70 million passengers each year. Numbers plunged during 2020 due to the pandemic, but the airport projects volume to reach 80 million
by 2025 and 100 million by 2035. Many of its current challenges stem from the fact that the facility was built to serve roughly 50 million passengers each year, Washington said. Several long-term construction projects are in the works to expand capacity, but some have hit roadblocks in recent years. “The holiday season will be tough,” Washington said. “But I see light at the end of the tunnel in terms of next year and after the holidays.” Inside the terminal Oct. 22, security lines snaked well into the baggage claim area. Passengers said they were surprised by how busy the airport was, but some noted premium options like TSA PreCheck helped them reach their flights in time. Jim Overmeyer drove to the airport from Congress Park to pick up two friends coming into town for a concert. It took him 15 minutes just to find parking, he said. Then he got lost in the terminal’s maze of construction walls. “This is crazy,” he said. “But I understand they’re doing what they have to do to stay relevant.” In late October, the airport opened the first phase of its Great Hall expansion after a series of delays. The extra space will open up the main terminal and allow for better foot traffic flow, Washington said. He emphasized passengers should still plan to at least give themselves a two-hour cushion when trying to make a flight in the coming months.

Personal growth precedes, boosts professional growth
L
ast week I had the privilege to participate in a professional development program for salespeople delivered by my good friend and mentor Bryan Fla- WINNING nagan. Although WORDS I have seen Bryan and many other corporate trainers deliver quality programs for more than 20 years, I still pick up something new, or a lesson that needed to be reinforced. Michael Norton I listened to this one sentence, and I was immediately transported back to hearing Zig Ziglar talk about how important it is to develop the person, not just the skill set. Here is what was said: “Personal growth always precedes professional growth.” Having spent most of my professional career in the personal and professional development industry, I know this to be an accurate statement. Working with companies of all sizes, one of the questions I receive is around guidance for a sales training program or leadership development
A
program that can help companies accelerate growth. And before I answer, I ask a question in return, “What have you done so far to build the people in your organization?” Almost everyone will answer with a list of courses or companies that they have worked with to address or focus on a specific skill set such as sales training, time management, communication skills, customer service training, presentation skills, etc. When this happens, I pause and reframe the question. I acknowledge that those skills absolutely help develop capabilities, and then I ask them to think about some of the other character traits that can impact their people personally and professionally while still helping the company to grow. Some understand my question as they recognize that when we work on building our people, the people will in turn help us build our business. Equally, if not more important than the skills mentioned above, are the softer skills training such as confidence, developing a positive attitude, building winning relationships at home and at work, goal setting and achievement, and learning to work and live with hope. When
we can instill or work to strengthen these qualities, our people will be in a much better frame of mind to receive the other skills-based training that can further their career while contributing to their team and the organization. Having been in the people building business for most of my life, I can share with you that unfortunately many organizations miss this opportunity. This is a shame because there is so much available data that supports the fact that when we work on the personal growth aspects of our people, the professional growth always follows. Companies who overlook investing in personal development opportunities often find themselves paying substantially higher replacement costs. Sometimes we fall into the trap of believing that all the people we hire or who are already a part of our team don’t need any help in their personal growth. This is flawed thinking because each of us will go through life’s challenges, and we may not always be prepared for the impact or toll those challenges can take on our lives. Even some of our people whom we see as strong and capable may be going through
a hardship that can cross over into their professional work. We all bring our home life to work and our work life home, both the good and the bad. Self-confidence helps us to develop a positive outlook and attitude. A positive attitude contributes to building winning relationships. Confident and positive people who work well with others become goals oriented and results focused. And when we can help develop all these character traits in our people, hope abounds. And as John Maxwell says, “If there is hope in the future, there is power in the present.” Personal growth precedes and accelerates professional growth. If you have questions about how to go about this for you and your team, I would love to hear from you at mnorton@ tramazing.com. And when we can live and work with confidence, a positive attitude, establish winning relationships, realize our goals, and become filled with hope, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager, and motivator to businesses of all sizes.
Dual-tasking can help with balance
s you age, you may start to notice changes in your balance, or may have already experienced a fall. Noticing changes in your balance can feel intimidating or even scary at times, but it’s important to remember that you’re LIVING & not alone in this journey to mainAGING WELL tain or improve your balance. In fact, most falls are preventable. With the proper education and training for balance, you can achieve significant improvement in Sadie Schanbacher your balance and reduce your risk of falling. A common misconception about balance is that it relies mostly on your body’s strength. The truth is, balance is just as much of a challenge for your brain as it is for your body, and strength only plays a small part. There are many things that impact your balance in addition to strength, such as vision, lighting changes, medications and more. For example, if you need to use your
hands to get out of a chair, this may be a sign your coordination has changed, or that your strength has declined. Balance is a reflex, and you can improve your balance through physical exercises (such as onelegged stands) and cognitive exercises (such as solving math problems or playing memory games). What’s most effective is combining these exercises at the same time, also known as “dual-tasking.” Dualtasking challenges you to think and move at the same time, which helps your balance reflexes and better prepares you for the world and its many uncertainties. One real-life example of dual-tasking is being asked a question while walking — oftentimes if this happens to an older adult, they’ll typically stop walking in order to answer the question. This is because the part of the brain that controls balance has declined. The good news is that dual-tasking balance training can significantly improve balance after just a few weeks of training. There are also plenty of things you can do at home to help improve your balance in your everyday routine. Try some of these helpful tips
in your free time around the house: • Adjust your stance. • Every time you brush your teeth, challenge yourself to stand with your feet closer together. • Focus on your footing. • Focus on stepping from heel to toe when you’re walking. This gives your brain the information it needs to assess the walking surface. • Talk while moving. • Train your brain and body to work together by counting items around a room or carrying on a conversation. Listening to music is a great distraction as well. • Lift your feet over imaginary objects. • Practice lifting your feet over imaginary objects to prepare yourself for everyday trip hazards, such as rugs. Trip hazards exist everywhere — learning to safely and consistently step over them is better than avoiding them long-term. • Shift your weight. • Hover your hands inside a sink for safety and shift your weight from one leg, then the other. If this is too easy, try it with your eyes closed. The state of Colorado cares about its older adult residents and their health and wellness needs. Part of
your health and wellness includes your balance, which is why Colorado provides helpful resources for balance training. One program that is offered to older adults is free access to Nymbl (website: co.fallsfree.com), a dual-tasking balance training app that can be done in the comfort of your home. If you have questions about your balance or fall risk, you can always start by talking to your doctor about these topics.

Frederick teacher, coach returns to African homeland BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUITYMEDIA.COM
Though he was born in Denver, Frederick High School physical education teacher and boys basketball coach Enoch Miller had one thing he particularly wanted to do. Return to his family’s native Africa. Miller joined an entourage from Rocky Mountain Christian Church in Frederick and Mission of Hope International to spend a week doing missionary work in the Mathare Valley, part of the Mathare slum in Kenya and a short distance from Nairobi. The population is about a half-million people who take up about half a square mile. “It’s one of the poorest slums,” Miller said. “There are a million people in an area that extends from Frederick High School to state Highway 52, maybe Colorado Boulevard. It’s unbelievable. You have to see it to believe it.” But for Miller, the week-long trip was more personal. “I am a product of missionary work through the Pillar of Fire Church,” Miller said. “My father is from Liberia. He lived there until he was 21. That’s where he met my mom. The church didn’t like it. He was black. She was white.” The couple eventually moved to the Denver area, where Miller was born. “It’s always been near and dear to my heart,” he said. “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for his missionary work.” VBS Miller and the group (including his 13-year-old daughter, Savannah, the church’s pastor, Shawn Moyers, his daughter, Grace, and the church’s campus pastor, Matt Cote) spent a week teaching Vacation Bible School to some 800 youngsters and taking the kids to such things as health check-ups. The church group raised money over the past eight months to cover about 80 percent of the trip. “There’s no playground,” Miller said. “There’s an armed guard at the front. There’s a little bit of a roof, but there are pillars in the way. Outside, it’s pandemonium. It’s the world’s biggest flea market, people selling trinkets, old cars, trash that comes up to almost the top of the

driver’s side window.” After school, the group was able to visit some students’ homes in teams of four to five people at a time. “That was the most impactful part,” Miller said. “Most of these homes were the size of a master bedroom closet. It’d be easy for the temperatures to reach 100 degrees. There were wild animals outside. “But that was the best part,” he added. “The kids were 10 times more happy to see us. I’m not exaggerating. We all gave a million hugs. But my daughter gave about 500 hugs to kids. They were so excited to see that people came all the way across the world to see them.” The oldest kids were in eighth grade. “They wear uniforms, and some of the pants are down near their ankles, so you can see they’ve been wearing them for a year or two,” Miller said. “We were encouraged to ask them questions about their lives, to show that we care, to tell us about their situation, what they do for work. Some are temporary workers, wash dishes. Most of them live on a dollar or two per day. They don’t know where their next meal is going to come from. “We asked, ‘What can we pray for you?’” Miller added. “Some of the answers were pretty heavy, that we help need jobs. So we prayed with them. We did that a couple of times

each day. Almost every single one of their situations was dire. “It’s difficult walking out of those homes,” Miller added. “We asked, ‘What can I do?’” As much as Miller and the church group wanted to do beyond the visit, they realized those options were limited. “We can’t give them money,” he said. “The kids get sponsorships, and outside donations (such as the ones from Miller and his wife) help. The goal of MOHI is to empower. Most organizations throw money at them. But in general, that’s not enough to change things. MOHI teaches kids trades, helps parents learn a trade. ‘It’s nice to meet you … and me?’ Miller never thought he’d meet someone with his first name. “After services, we were congregating with people in the church,” Miller said. “One of the kids came
up to me, and I realized we shared the same name. They speak Swahili. Some speak English, but most speak Swahili. I took a picture of the kid. That was really cool.” Miller met another young man. As a result, Miller and his wife agreed to become a sponsor. “I walked with a kid during one of those health visits,” Miller said. “He was quiet and shy, about 5 or 6. He looks at me, he hasn’t said a lot. He looks at me and says, ‘I want to be a doctor.’ I smiled and told him, ‘Yes, you’re going to be a doctor.’” Miller and his team visited the young man’s house after a VBS session. The youngster was still in school at the time. “He’s an amazing kid,” Miller said. Bonding time Miller was in charge of running SEE HOMELAND, P9

the games’ session during VBS time. His 13-year-old daughter, helped. “My daughter is very quiet, reserved. She has quirks like I do,” Miller laughed. “One of my goals was to get her to see outside her own world. She was amazing. She did so well with the kids, playing games. Essentially, she was a teacher. “She wants to be a teacher,” Miller continued. “She loved the kids. She understands how good we have it. For some of these kids, the only meal they get is at school. A lot of times, they don’t get a meal. “The best part was having her (his daughter) with me,” Miller continued. “We had a tremendous time bonding. I wanted to take my daughter. It was a dream of mine to let her see life on the other side.” Miller wants to return when his youngest daughter, Chloe, who is about to celebrate her 11th birthday, gets into seventh grade. “Some kids were born into something they have no control over,” Miller said. “I know I can do it. I’d love to go every year. All I know is I enjoyed it. I want to go back. I just don’t know the timetables.” Impacts The first day of the trip was a holiday for school but not for those who wanted health exams and dental check-ups.

said. “She got to know the kids. That was one of her favorite parts. She got to talk to them one on one.” Savannah Miller also got an education while delivering an education. “I wanted her to realize that even on a teacher’s salary, we have a lot more than other people,” Miller said. “We are rich by the world’s standards. But I want both my daughters to see how other people live.” Miller felt some changes in his perspective after this trip. “Every day in America is life
or death,” he said. “Life is always crazy. I recognize, at times, that I lack perspective. The most important things in life are faith, family and health. But these days, if we don’t have the material things, we can’t make it. “It gave me more of a perspective of necessities vs. luxuries,” he added. “It made me feel like every day is not life and death. I’m going to do everything I can to be a good teacher and a good coach. “But it’s not the most important thing.”

Denver business offers ‘water cremation’ as end-of-life alternative Be a Tree Cremation calls it a greener way BY ALEXIS KIKOEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
Let’s talk about death. “It’s really a Western culture thing, this death denial,” says Emily Nelson. “Where we just don’t really think about it or talk about it and it’s just become rather taboo.” Nelson, the founder and CEO of Be a Tree Cremation in Denver, believes there is more to death than traditional practices. “Our current conventional method of burial and cremation really perpetuates the idea that somehow we’re separate from nature as humans. We’re not … We don’t need to be preserved in any way,” Nelson says. Be a Tree Cremation, the second facility of its kind in Colorado, specializes in the process of water cremation — technically known as “alkaline hydrolysis.” The process, which was legalized in Colorado in 2011, is surprisingly simple. “The decedent gets loaded directly into this vessel,” says Nelson, motioning to a large cylindrical metal tube behind her. Then, water is pumped into the vessel along with a small amount of potassium hydroxide. The mixture mimics the natural decomposition process and gently Air Monitoring Print Ads.pdf dissolvesSuncor the body, she says.

When the process is finished, all that remains in the vessel are skeletal remains and things like gold teeth and artificial joints from surgeries such as knee replacements. The skeletal remains are ground into ashes for the family. Other items are safely recycled. The process also creates a nutrient-dense liquid branded as “Tree 2 8/10/21 10:38 PM Tea.” Family members have the

option to purchase small bottles of the liquid to use as nourishment for their plants at home. Nelson says water cremation is one of the most natural and environmentally-friendly ways to return to the earth, which is what originally inspired her to research the process. “At Be a Tree Cremation, we really have two goals,” she explains. “To
help people live on through nature, and to reduce the carbon footprint of the funeral industry, which is not insignificant.” The process of water cremation uses about 90% less energy than typical flame cremations, Nelson says, adding that flame cremations also emit the same amount of carbon dioxide as a 600-mile road trip. “We have no emissions or smoke coming from our building,” says Nelson. Prior to opening Be a Tree in Sun Valley, Nelson worked with a corporation that owns over 2,000 funeral homes across the county. “At that point I really saw behind the curtain of conventional burial and cremation work, and just didn’t feel right about it. I just knew there had to be a different option for people,” Nelson says. Cremations have only recently surpassed burials as the most popular end-of-life option. According to 2019 estimates from the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), by 2040 “the cremation rate in the U.S. is projected to be 78.7% while the burial rate is predicted to be just 15.7%, signifying that cremation is no fading trend.” A traditional fire cremation is estimated to produce an average of 534.6 pounds of carbon dioxide per person.

Extended outdoor drinking and dining options may very well become permanent public infrastructure in Denver’s near future. Mayor Michael Hancock announced Oct. 26 that multiple city agencies will work with restaurant owners to support their outdoor dining options through new permitting and zoning processes. “Extended patios have provided a crucial lifeline to restaurants through the COVID-19 pandemic, and Denver restaurants overwhelmingly support the program,” said Mollie Steinemann with the Colorado Restaurant Association. The original temporary outdoor dining program received hundreds of applications just days after implementation in May 2020. The program was extended in April so business owners could renew their temporary outdoor dining licenses all the way through October 2022. As of Oct. 26, 373 restaurants have used the policy to offer outdoor dining options, and at least 111 will continue through the winter months. A Colorado Restaurant Association survey found 68% of Denver restaurants benefitted from the program. Of the restaurants that took part in the patio program, more than half of their summer revenue came from outdoor dining, and that revenue, in turn, directly created or saved around 30% of their staff jobs, they reported. “If it wasn’t for the program, I don’t think we would actually be in business right now,” Simeran Baidwan, owner of Denver’s Little India restaurants, said during the Oct. 26 press conference. “Because of that expansion, we were able to keep our employees.” The restaurant did not furlough employees, many of whom Baidwan said are immigrants with families to support.

than the per capita emissions of Afghanistan. Be a Tree Cremation currently has one water cremation system and works with about 10 clients per month. From start to finish, the process takes about 18 hours. “Realistically we can really only work with one person a day,” says Nelson. “Once we hit one person a day in the month, we’ll really be at capacity here and start looking at other ways that we can serve more people.” Nelson says Be a Tree’s packages start at $2,250 and they include water cremation, transportation and a basic urn. That is significantly cheaper than the average burial process. A casket alone costs an average of $2,000, according to the Federal Trade Commission. In 2019, the cost

Perceptions of the public right-ofway, and public spaces in general, have changed drastically during the pandemic. Restaurants have been creative and adaptive in utilizing formerly public spaces — like the grassy strip between the road and sidewalk, unused parking spaces, or even the street itself — to continue serving customers. However, not every establishment’s outdoor options will be approved as permanent add-ons. “With traffic levels returning back to normal, we won’t be able to have every dining area that has expanded seating into the public right of way to continue. I want to say that clearly,” Hancock said. “What we’re going to do is to go by a case-by-case, restaurant-by-restaurant, bar-by-bar assessment of what is possible.” The work will be split up between the myriad public agencies that govern businesses and public spaces. For example, the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will evaluate the safety of the outdoor dining options, which include things like snow and ice with winter just around the corner, while Community Planning and Development will launch the public process of creating new zoning laws to apply to these temporary spaces. And while the city will continue to reserve the right to revoke licenses
in the name of things like public safety, these new assessments will allow restaurants to keep serving in outdoor spaces for the foreseeable future. The new October 2022 deadline gives the city and its various agencies some time to thoroughly review the applications, although the timeline to complete the project is not concrete. It’s also a collaborative process, and certain city agencies are working with innate limitations. Changing city zoning takes months and involves public hearings before the Denver Planning Board and City Council. These zoning changes likely won’t be permanent by October 2022, but Community Planning and Development says it will continue offering guidance and working with each individual business in the meantime. While nothing has been decided yet, Hancock did note that the clamor for certain streets to remain pedestrian-only has grown during the pandemic, especially around Larimer Square, the Pearl Street District and Glenarm Street.

While Be a Tree’s process is timeconsuming, having fewer clients means that Emily and her team can work closely and intentionally with each family. Appointments are often filled with music requested by the decedent’s family, while incense, sage, and candles are lit. “Even though this is a really technology-driven process, it’s still a person, and it’s still someone’s loved one,” says Nelson. Apart from what the family takes home, the majority of the liquid is sent to Half Moon Farm in Lakewood to be used on flowers and other non-edible plants. The partnership between Be a Tree Cremation and Half Moon Farm started about a year ago, when both facilities opened. “It’s one of the healthiest ways in returning us back to the earth,”
says Eric Rooney, owner and “chief plant companion” at Half Moon Farm. “Everything that’s in our fertilizers is what’s in this liquid,” says Rooney. They regularly test the Tree Tea, which is a non-toxic solution of amino acids, peptides, sugars, and soap. The exact makeup “will vary from person to person,” says Nelson. The flowers from Half Moon Farm travel all over Colorado — to weddings, funerals, dinner parties, and a variety of other celebrations. “It’s an opportunity for people to look at the story of life,” says Rooney, “and this regenerative idea behind us going back to our most physical sense, the earth.”

Don’t count out Tri-County Health yet, leaders say Health chief, Adams Co. officials see collaboration possibility past 2022 BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The formal bonds that hold the public-health partnership among Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties together may be loosening, but the complete demise of the TriCounty Health Department, which has served them for decades, may be less certain to happen than it has appeared. “My best-case scenario is, after a couple months, Adams County works with us and figures out they can provide what they want in terms of local control and (for their residents) in a two-county infrastructure,” John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, told Colorado Community Media in an interview, expressing hope that Adams and Arapahoe could still work together. He also envisioned a future where Arapahoe County partners with TriCounty “as some kind of independent entity” that Arapahoe might contract with — or even that Greenwood Village-based Tri-County gets “evolved” into a department of Arapahoe County. He said he hopes that whatever Tri-County becomes could also work with Adams and Douglas counties at least in a transitional role to provide services and help them plan for what their evolution to new health agencies might look like. When the dust settles, he suggested, the outcome of the three counties’ transition may be that each county gains its own board of health — the policy-making body that issues public health orders such as mask mandates, for example — thus freeing them from the need to contend with the political differences among the counties when shaping health policy. And at the same time, the counties may end up with agreements to keep receiving day-to-day public health services from Tri-County Health, at least for some period of time, or they may partner with different entities. Aside from COVID-19 mitigation, Tri-County provides services such eas restaurant inspections, nutrition counseling, maternal and child health services, and disease control, among other functions. . Taking politics out of health After the end of 2022 — when Douglas County could end its agreement to continue receiving services from Tri-County Health and when Adams County expects to move to a new health department structure — the costs of Arapahoe and Adams counties pulling away from TriCounty could be in the millions, according to a consulting firm studying the benefits and drawbacks of the counties’ potential decisions to handle public health services alone. Douglas County’s leaders have long clashed with Tri-County Health during the coronavirus pan-
demic, announcing plans in July 2020 to begin the process of withdrawing from the health agency after its decision to require mask wearing in public. Some of Adams County’s leaders felt frustration with Tri-County’s recent policymaking, too: Some commissioners voted to opt out of the health agency’s school mask order this August before Tri-County removed the ability of counties to opt out of its health orders. But Adams’ message wasn’t antimask — County Commissioner Eva Henry said at the time that she agreed with the intent of the order and supports mask-wearing. “It’s unfortunate, you know, that politics got into our public health system — it shouldn’t be there,” Henry told Colorado Community Media. “And that was one of the reasons I voted to opt out of the mask order, to put it back in Tri-County’s hands, to take politics out of the public health orders. Commissioners shouldn’t be making public health decisions.” Douglas told CCM that he felt the pandemic wasn’t the only factor that led to the three counties starting to split up. “I think if we wouldn’t have had COVID, I think we would have continued with a three-county relationship,” Douglas said, but he added that the counties — all of which are much more populous now that when they joined the agency — have differences that eventually may have led them to break Tri-County up anyway. But “I don’t think it would have been right now if it hadn’t been for COVID and public health orders,” he said. Adams County Commissioner Emma Pinter felt that the breaking up of Tri-County isn’t just tied to mask wearing. “I think there’s been fractures for some time between the three counties,” Pinter told CCM. “It just wasn’t as heightened until we entered the pandemic and tried to do pandemic (policy) together.” Asked whether there are moments during the pandemic she looks back on and wishes Adams had its own health department, Henry said: “Almost weekly.” She said she wanted to have the conversation “long ago” of Adams having its own health agency. “Once a year, all the county commissioners get together and they talk about the budget,” in the three counties, Henry said. “And talk about what we’ll fund and not going to fund. With Arapahoe County’s budget restrictions they have, and Douglas County’s views, it made those decisions very hard.” Adams has different budget policies than Arapahoe County because Arapahoe is “not de-Bruced,” meaning the county has different restrictions under Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, Henry said. Adams’ industrial sites and environmental health concerns are important to that county’s leaders, one example of a unique county aspect that lends itself to being handled by local leaders alone, according to Henry. “Other counties shouldn’t be influ-
encing the public health of another county,” Henry said. Difference in ‘consistency’ For Adams County’s Pinter, watching other counties give less support or less-consistent backing to John Douglas’ policy recommendations was part of what motivated her to want to break from TriCounty. “If you watch the votes of the duly appointed board of health members, those three Adams board of health members consistently voted together and in the interest of public health, in favor of Dr. Douglas’ recommendations,” Pinter told CCM. She added: “If you look at the votes on the board of health members of Arapahoe and Douglas, the same consistency is not true.” She added that she wants to have a board of health “that always puts the wellbeing of our residents first.” Before Douglas County exited TriCounty, the agency’s board of health consisted of nine members — three each from Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas. Christa Bruning, an Adams County spokesperson, signaled that the county plans to enter into some type of partnership for public health services in the future. “Adams County intends to contract with a local health agency for many of its public health services starting in January 2023,” Bruning said. “It’s too early in the process to know who that health agency is.” Henry said Adams County is looking at Denver’s health department model, in which Denver contracts to receive nonprofit services for “a lot of its programs.” Adams could hypothetically partner with Broomfield or Jefferson counties, too, Henry said as an example. Those counties have their own public health agencies. “And if Tri-County really wanted to survive, what they could look at is becoming a nonprofit and … contracting out to the three counties,” Henry said. Douglas, the Tri-County health chief, said he has heard of the idea that his agency could become a nonprofit, but the legal ins and outs of that weren’t immediately clear. In Arapahoe County, where TriCounty’s headquarters currently sit, Douglas said that “it could be we go away entirely and they (Arapahoe) hire our staff to work for them, or we stay as some kind of independent entity and they might contract for us, or we get evolved into a department of the county.” Echoing Douglas, Pinter expressed support for leaning on Tri-County in some way as Adams transitions to a new public health structure. “I think that in that transition, we have the opportunity to use the expertise of the staff of Tri-County Health. They’ve carried us through a pandemic … we owe a great debt of gratitude to the staff,” Pinter said, noting that the staff have faced a contentious and combative atmosphere toward public health officials amid the pandemic. She said that over the next year, the county will need to think about whether it wants to contract with Tri-County for some period of time.

COLORADO SPRINGS -- Cheyenne Mountain put an end to Riverdale Ridge’s soccer season in Colorado Springs Oct. 28. But it wasn’t without a struggle. The Indians’ Jonathan Diaz Mendoza scored twice in the last 10 minutes of the second half to give CMHS a 2-0 win in the opening round of the state 4A soccer playoffs. “We went toe to toe with them,” FLHS coach Archie Suniga said. “It took a shot from 40 yards out to break the deadlock. Hats off to Cheyenne Mountain. They’ve been here plenty of times. They are a great team. We’re young. We’ll be back.” RRHS’ defense in general and goalkeeper Sebastian Delgadillo, in particular, kept the Ravens close through the match.
